I have decided to let a few project cars go and keep one. This is a 1972 Dodge Dart Swinger. Vin calls for a 318 which is what it has in the car, but not sure if it is matching numbers. Found some numbers behind pump, but not sure if these are supposed to match or the casting numbers. I can do more checking and add to the auction if anyone can give me some direction. The 318 in the car is missing the intake and would likely need a rebuild. It does have some money invested in the pulley system (see photos). I do have another 318, 904 tranny an aluminum radiator that I may let go with the car if final price reaches a certain amount (I will post info towards the bottom). I believe the hood and/or grille was added from an earlier model, but I do not have the history. It has the hood scoops and the 340 emblem. I can add any information someone can give me on these cars over the next week. I know more about Dodge Chargers. The body looks solid on the car except for the small damage to the fender and a little lower quarter rust. The underside and trunk look solid. Has a spare and jack in the trunk. The interior would need some work as per photos ( dash has cracks, front and rear seat has some tears). I do have another top portion of the back seat that will go with the car and can be recovered. Car has no radiator in it now.

The car has some nice mags and I have several other parts including shocks, brakes, some lines, mufflers, fan blade, new battery tray ect, per photos. This is a project car that you could do just about anything with at this point.

Bonus: If the final price on the car is over $3,800 , I will include another 318 engine but will have to go off what I was told on the engine. I was told it ran good so they decided to add a new Melling mild cam and some new lifters. Was also told that it has a new timing chain and oil pump. As you can see from the photos, It has a newer (not sure if brand new) edelbrock carburetor. The engine itself can use some cleaning ect and was not completely rebuilt. I would also throw in a used 904 tranny(not rebuilt) and a Be cool aluminum radiator (was told it is worth approx. $500-600.) Radiator looks new, but has some storage wear. The last few pictures show the engine and radiator.

Buyer to pay $500 deposit with paypal within 24 hours and the balance with cash/cashiers check within 5-7 days. Pick up only or you arrange shipping. The shipper would need to be able to take the extra engine/tranny if price is met. I am selling with no reserve and will list for 10 days to give you plenty of time to ask questions.

Help find Kenny Wayne Shepherd's stolen 1972 Dodge Charger

Mon, 11 Nov 2013

Judging by his collection of cars, blues musician Kenny Wayne Shepherd (shown above, at left, with fellow musician George Thorogood) is an enthusiast of classic Dodge muscle cars, so it's no surprise that he is an active member of Mopar-related online communities. When his 1972 Dodge Charger turned up missing from an LA-area warehouse last Wednesday, Shepherd took to the forums of Moparts.org in an attempt to get the word out in hopes of recovering his custom classic.
The Charger was stolen along with four other vehicles, and Hot Rod reports that two women have been taken into custody since - but still no word on the car. With its blacked-out appearance (including custom Foose wheels), this car is definitely hard to miss, but Shepherd also said that the car might be even more distinguishable now due to some body damage that may have occurred as it was being driven from the warehouse lot. Shepherd's website has a full gallery of images for this '72 Charger, which also has a modern 392-cubic-inch V8 under the hood and a six-speed gearbox pulled from a Viper.
If you're in the LA area and happen to see this car, Shepherd asks that you call the LAPD West Valley Division at 818-374-7611. Here's to hoping this one-of-a-kind Charger turns up unscathed.

121k Dodge Darts being investigated over braking problem

Mon, Jun 22 2015

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating the Dodge Dart due to reports of braking problems. Some 121,000 cars are possibly affected, all from the 2013 model year. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA received 18 complaints about the brake pedal becoming hard to depress on these cars, increasing stopping distance. Drivers reported hearing a "pop noise or an air hissing noise when applying the brake pedal, followed by a hard pedal feel and reduced brake effectiveness," NHTSA told the News. In a particularly terrifying incident, one driver says the Dart's braking system shut down while driving at 50 miles per hour. "I feared for my life. It is one of the scariest things I have ever dealt with," the complaint said, according to The Detroit News. A Fiat-Chrysler spokesperson said the automaker is "fully cooperating" with this investigation.

Hellcat no help to Fiat-Chrysler's bottom-of-the-pile mpg average

Wed, Oct 15 2014

What, you expected the "fastest muscle car ever" to help fleetwide fuel economy? Nope, don't think that's going to happen. That means Fiat Chrysler will likely to continue to languish at the bottom of the heap when it comes to fleetwide fuel economy among the largest automakers serving the US, especially as the automaker starts to sell its Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat. A few hundred Fiat 500E electric vehicles aren't going to turn the trend around. See, Chrysler has once again finished at the bottom of the list when it came to fleetwide fuel economy among automakers for 2014 model-year vehicles, according to a preliminary study by the US Environmental Protection Agency. Chrysler and Fiat had an average of 21.1 miles per gallon. That substantially lagged the overall 24.2 mpg average, but it was an increase from the company's 20.9 mpg average last year and the 20.1 mpg average two years prior. For 2014, General Motors had the second-worst fleetwide fuel economy at an even 22 mpg. Fiat Chrysler does say it's working on improving its fuel economy, according to Automotive News. The company plans on making its inline-four-cylinder and V6 engines smaller, and will sell more vehicles with eight- and nine-speed transmissions. Heck, there's even a plug-in hybrid version of the Chrysler Town & Country minivan in the works for late 2015, and the company can tout fuel-efficiency gains with the Chrysler 200 and Jeep Cherokee. We would be remiss if we didn't note that, compared to its muscle-car forefathers, the Hellcat actually performs pretty well at the pump. Last month, word got out that the 2015 Challenger Hellcat, equipped either with a six-speed manual or an eight-speed automatic transmission, got a combined fuel economy of 16 mpg. Heck, the automatic-tranny version got 22 mpg on the highway. And that's for a car with 707 horsepower and a 10-second quarter-mile time. Still, with the pedal floored, the car can burn a gallon and a half of fuel per minute. Ouch.
